The institute is affiliated to Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education (MSBTE).
MSBTE revises its curriculum every 5 years taking feedback from all the stakeholders like
Industry, Alumni, Institutes and Subject experts. It is based on System’s approach. This takes
care of the curricular gaps present in the previous curriculum & thus minimizes the gaps.
However, with growing technology, it is very difficult to satisfy all the needs of the industry
through curricula. A system is evolved to identify these gaps.
A thorough study of the curriculum is done by subject teachers and a common platform is
created wherein the link between various subjects is discussed. The curricular and
knowledge gaps are identified and the strategy to overcome these gaps is arrived at.
The visiting faculty in the department has regular interactions with the faculty members
and suggests the recent advances in the industry and also highlights the need for students
to have knowledge of these advancements. Accordingly, symposiums, Seminars,
Workshops, Training programmes, Technical Quiz programme are arranged.
A review of curricula offered by other states & Autonomous institutes are taken and the
necessary contents are added in the seminars.

2.2 Teaching Learning Process (150)
2.2.1. Describe Processes followed to ensure/improve quality of Teaching & Learning (25)
A departmental academic calendar is prepared in accordance with the MSBTE calendar.
Teaching Plan and Laboratory Plan is prepared by the staff to plan and complete the theory
and practical in the given time frame. In order to standardize the process of curriculum
implementation and assessment, MSBTE has evolved with CIAAN (Curriculum
Implementation And Assessment Norms). These norms are religiously followed by all the
faculty members to facilitate the proper implementation of teaching learning process.
Keeping the pedagogical initiatives in mind, teaching learning process is effectively
implemented in the following ways:-
Teacher Centered Learning
Teacher delivers the lectures to teach new concepts and theory aspects through not only
conventional chalk/board method but also through demonstrations of Models, charts etc.
and also through ICTs. Videos, flash presentations, Power Point Presentations, are a
VPM’s POLYTECHNIC, THANE, M.S.
Self Assessment Report 20 Department of Information Technology
part of every subject teacher’s lecture delivery plan to help the students visualize and
understand the concepts better.
Student Centered learning
Students develop hands- on skills during practical of almost all courses under the
supervision and guidance of subject teacher and lab assistant. Lab manuals are also
available for majority of the courses to aid learning. Self learning also takes place through
assignments given after completion of a topic for all courses.
Poster exhibitions, group discussions and student presentations (By allotting one topic
to a group of 3-4 students) are held every year. A major project helps develop a working
model of a problem by integrating the course outcomes of various courses and reinforces
the concepts learnt in the diploma programme. Students are taken for industrial visits and
technical exhibitions which provide industry based learning. In-plant training is
encouraged so that student develops an understanding of industrial requirements and get a
feel of industry environment.
Counseling and Mentoring through various sessions are organized to motivate the
students.
Bright students are motivated to participate in various quiz and Technical paper
presentation competitions to develop professional and soft skills. Free Book bank facility
is extended to the toppers of every class in recognition of their achievements and also to
the reserved category students. A very nominal fee is charged to other students. Weak
students are guided through Remedial lectures.
Entrepreneurship Development cell caters to those students who are desirous of having a
start up later in life. Spoken tutorials, value added courses are conducted.
At the end of the practical session students are evaluated on the basis of MCQs, based on
Cognitive, Psychomotor and Affective Domain.

2.2.6. Information Access Facilities and Student Centric Learning Initiatives (15)
Following information access facilities are provided to the students by college:
1) Multimedia/flash/video: Multimedia contains many kinds of data (images, motion,
sounds, text) in a complementary fashion so learning can be adjusted more easily than with
other tools. With video, the students have more control over the information they receive
and it provides additional opportunity for deeper learning by being able to stop, rewind, fast-
forward, and replay content as many times as needed.
2) E-Presentations: Presentations can help teachers to get their points to be explained in
better way and help students to learn more effectively. PowerPoint is easy to learn, widely
available, easy to understand the subject.
3) CD/DVD: Books are available in the digital form. These CD/DVD books contain video,
audio along with text. This facilitates student learning.
4) Transparencies: Transparency helps teacher to explain diagrammatic concepts with ease.
5) E-notes: E-Notes help students to complete assignments and study for exams. E- Notes
are sent to the students by emails.
6) Spoken tutorial: It is a MHRD project under IIT-B which helps the students to get
certified in various programming subjects through tutorials and videos.
7) Websites: Websites includes educational video tutorials, instructional lectures, do-it
yourself guides, self-help tutorials, interactive presentations, animated explanations and many
more. It helps students to develop learning skills. Many websites are suggested by MSBTE in
Curriculum.
The above tools are used to deliver the content of various courses pertaining to the
programme.

3.2. Attainment of Course Outcomes (40)
3.2.1. Describe the assessment processes used to gather the data upon which the
evaluation of Course Outcome is based (10)
The following processes have been undertaken to assess whether the course outcomes have
been achieved.
Progressive Tests:
Two progressive tests are conducted in each semester – one in mid semester and the
other in the end of the semester.
The teacher guide document provided by MSBTE, suggests the topics to be covered
lecture wise and the portions to be completed before each test. Teacher guide is
strictly followed.
Sample question papers suggesting weight-age of curriculum to be included in the
question paper is made available in the teacher guide document. Question papers are
set accordingly.
The course outcomes of the subject are taken into consideration while setting the
question paper.
After assessing the test papers in both the tests, course outcome is assessed by
determining the number of students who have achieved “Pass” marks in the said
subject.
Accordingly, attainment of course outcome is assessed.
VPM’s POLYTECHNIC, THANE, M.S.
Self Assessment Report 58 Department of Information Technology
MSBTE Board Examinations:
In the Teaching Examination scheme of MSBTE, the subjects have 3 components
namely Theory exams, Practical/ oral exams, and Term-work.
The marks obtained in all the 3 components are added and the attainment level of
course outcome is determined by assessing the number of students who have achieved
“Pass” marks.
The question paper in board examinations are set according to the specification table
which gives the weight-age of the topic and the level of questions that should be
asked in that topic as per Bloom’s Taxonomy (Revised). Also a question paper profile
is provided which specifies the marks, level and the topic from which the questions
are to be set. These aspects of the question paper address to the course outcome and
determine whether attainment levels are achieved.
After completion of 80% of practical exercises, a Progressive skill test is conducted
and the performance of the students is evaluated and included for the final assessment
of practical marks.
Besides these processes, Mini projects are allotted to the students and they are
indicative of the assessment of course outcome.
MCQs are given to the students after performance of each experiment to evaluate the
learning which is indicative of the course outcome. These answers are recorded and
based on the number of questions the student has responded correctly continuous
assessment marks are given.

Self Assessment Report 65 Department of Information Technology
Assessment Tools are broadly classified as Direct Assessment Tools and Indirect
Assessment Tools.
The Direct Assessment Tools include MSBTE Examination and Progressive Tests.
The MSBTE Examinations include three components Theory, Practical/Oral and
Term work.
A Continuous Assessment as per CIAAN (Curriculum Implementation And
Assessment ) norms of MSBTE includes MCQs, Seminars, and Industrial Visits as
part of the Term Work component. A Progressive Skill Test to assess the hands-on
skill is included in the Practical/Oral Component. Also, the Project work showing
integration of Course Outcomes is assessed in the final semester. MSBTE exams are
conducted at the end of the semester.
Two Progressive tests are conducted, one in the middle of term and other in end term.
The questions are set according to the Course Outcomes. Assignments based on
Course Outcomes are given, which helps the students to improve their performance in
the tests. These test marks of all the subjects contribute for the “Sessional” component
of MSBTE exam.
Indirect Assessment tools include feedback from various stakeholders like Present
Students, Alumni, Parents, Recent Pass Outs, and Employers. This feedback is taken
once in a year.
VPM’s POLYTECHNIC, THANE, M.S.
Self Assessment Report 66 Department of Information Technology
Attainment Process:
The curriculum document of MSBTE is prepared taking the industry needs into
consideration.
An Industry survey is conducted on a state level and subject experts are invited to
prepare the content detailing of Theory and Laboratory work.
The implementation strategy of Curriculum includes the incorporation of education
Philosophy (Blooms Revised Taxonomy) and a training given to the faculty across the
state of Maharashtra.
The subject teacher identifies 5-6 course outcomes as given in Table 3.1.1 in the SAR.
VPM’s POLYTECHNIC, THANE, M.S.
Self Assessment Report 67 Department of Information Technology
Course Outcomes are then mapped with the Program Outcomes & Program Specific
Outcomes. Correlation levels are entered and the overall Course Outcome is
calculated.
All the Outcomes of various Courses are mapped with the POs and PSOs &
correlation levels are entered in CO-PO/ CO-PSO Matrix.
The Course Outcomes are measured through MSBTE Board Examinations by setting
standards and calculating the number of students scoring above the set standard. The
Course Outcomes are also measured through Progressive Tests. These are considered
as Direct Attainment.
80% of the Direct attainment levels are calculated.
For Indirect Attainment, the average scores of the feedback taken from various
stakeholders are taken.
20% of the score is considered for calculation of Attainment Levels.
The Direct & Indirect attainment levels of POs & PSOs are added and Attainment
Levels are calculated.
